Listen in on our sleepytime recaps of our 2 week roadtrip from London to Manchester to Chawton. We discuss Elizabeth Gaskell's House, the Jane Austen House Museum, the fine libraries of Manchester and Gemporia. P.S. We apologize for that time we ate sausage rolls while taping. That was rude.
We're back! In this minisode, Lauren finally listens to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, Hannah tells us why Louisa May Alcott is the very best and they reveal a few special announcements!
Yes, we're on break, but we had to drop a Valentine's Day episode! For this very special occassion we invited two dudes on to discuss the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility. And while we may know them, they are complete strangers to Austen's work. #BADSense
We are currently on break, but we hope you will enjoy this late-night rambler where we continue our discussion on Lucy Snowe and Anne Elliot!
VILLETTE. This episode is all about Villette. Cut down from 2 hours, we never actually get around to comparing and contrasting Lucy Snowe and Anne Elliot. You'll have to wait for that mini-episode to drop later on this week. In the meantime, enjoy our meltdown over this classic piece of literature.
Guys, we're finally going to talk about Persuasion...
